Big things were expected of the Swedish defender when he arrived at Old Trafford in the summer, but so far he's managed just one minute of Premier League action - when Jose Mourinho threw him on in stoppage time at Anfield last week to help protect United's point.

His action for his new club has been restricted to Champions League and the Carabao Cup so far, and in fact he's played almost as many matches for his country as he has for United so far this season.

And an incredible stat has emerged about his campaign so far.

Because in Lindelof's nine starts for club and country this season, eight have come in different counties.

Here's his globetrotting campaign so far.
